I spent a little time this evening tinkering and starting to dig into this engine. The tender actually ended up coming apart more easily than I was initially afraid of. And I discovered that what I thought was adhesive was just a little "goo" that had bled into the joint between the shell of the tender and the frame from foam strips attached to the inner lower edge of the shell. So the tender is apart and I'm able to take stock of what's inside.
The engine is being a little more challenging. I removed two screws beneath the cab and one under the cylinder saddle and the lower part of the engine seemed to come loose. The cylinder end is totally free but something is hanging up getting the motor end out of the firebox. It only seems to pull out about 1/4" before hanging up. After trying various ways of tilting and wiggling it I decided to set it down and come back to it later.
If anyone has any hints for whatever is binding up the motor end from coming out of the firebox I'd be interested to know!
